1/12 M1A2 Abrams (w/ Heng Long board) – HL track conversion
 |
link-by-link tracks and drive sprocket, instead of the poorly designed rubber tracks. Sprocket currently painted Dark Yellow instead of Light Sand, as I’m out of paint. Currently using Heng Long (non-S&S) electronics and 2 x 1700mah’s. Tons of mods done, and scratchbuilt extras (CIP panels, APU in bustle rack) from styrene.

mine is about 2 1/2 feet long and a foot wide lol….. shoots airsoft pellets to lol…
It´s nice! How much does it weigh? I have modified the same Tank.
Have a look at my Videoanswer.
Thats pretty sharp
Tanks for sharing lol
I love this tank, nice job.
where u get it??
thats cool
The cool thing is that the electric motors and gears on this model sound a little like the Abram’s Turbine engine.
no more dessert colous paint?
mix 30% yellow ochre house paint with flat white 70%.
voila!
desert scheme!
scratch the linked tracks thing. i got an old TMarui M1 with(link tracks) no RC remote, so i intend to use my type90’s on it.
1/12 scale means its 12 times smaller than the real thing. 12″ of real tank equals 1″ of scaled tank. Real Abrams hull length: 7.93m (26ft) – 1/12 hull length: 66cm (26inch)
dude, that’s so cool. But 1/12 scale is hard to convince me……just like, 12 of these lining up is equal to the real M1??the real M1A2 is huge…
yep, why?
can the RC board you used in your m1 fit into th 1/24 scale hull?
are there any linked tracks for 1/24?
So you have the 1/24 Heng Leng Type 90? (often falsely sold as “Marui OEM”)
dude, could you please list out the parts you replaced, and where do i get them?
special emphasis on the RC board.
i am tired of my Type 90 tank throwing tracks at every turn.
thanks.
Hi Roberthehn – they are sold under a guise of names, you see them on ebay all the time. Usually like “huge 85cm tank” or “1/12 panzer”. If its 1/12, its one of these. They come in two paintjobs: green with dark-green camo and tan with brown camo. Hope that helps
Can you please tell me where I can purchase a M1A2 Abrams tank similar to the one you have in your video?
That is way too cool!
Yep, 6mm BB’s
Awesome vid man. Can that thing shoot?=)
Thanks for the comment. I havent done much with this lately, as I’ve got a few other projects on the go (Bandai Hummel). Today I made a halftrack for a bit of backyard fun… will post videos when its worthy of public audience
Cool..
